News broke out that Anthony Weiner, former Congressman, has been caught sexting yet again. He has been caught twice in the past, once in 2011 by accidentally posting a sexually explicit photo of himself on his Twitter account, and another in 2013.
While his wife, Huma Abedin, has always been by his side, she decided that this time she would call it quits. She decided to part ways and to no longer save their marriage. In a statement she said: “After long and painful consideration and work on my marriage, I have made the decision to separate from my husband. Anthony and I remain devoted to doing what is best for our son, who is the light of our life. During this difficult time, I ask for respect for our privacy.”
Huma Abedin is a top Clinton aid and was off campaigning for Hillary Clinton. During that time, Weiner was posting raunchy photos of himself beside his 4-year old son.
What did Donald Trump have to say?
He has called Weiner a “pervert weirdo” and “sicko” in the past and praised his wife’s recent decision to separate.
“Huma is making a very wise decision. I know Anthony Weiner well, and she will be far better off without him,” he said in a statement.
“I only worry for the country in that Hillary Clinton was careless and negligent in allowing Weiner to have such close proximity to highly classified information. Who knows what he learned and who he told? It’s just another example of Hillary Clinton’s bad judgment. It is possible that our country and its security have been greatly compromised by this,” he continued.
Will this have a negative effect on the Clinton campaign?
